Tom and Ben return with another instalment for series 3 - this time, the boys grab their plaid caps and head over to 1950’s Plainfield, Wisconsin. To uncover the (potentially literally) bone-chilling case of ‘The Butcher/Ghoul of Plainfield’ - Mister Ed Gein.
What crucial moment in Ed’s isolated childhood was said to have sparked his obsession with human and animal corpses? How was it that Ed’s older brother Henry died in a brush fire without a single sign of being burnt? Were the twisted local rumours true about Ed and his mother, Augusta? And which Adam Sandler movie is Ben convinced to have been based on Ed Gein?
Tune in and all will be revealed!
